Hunh. I will try that, but when I first tried firewire, I used
ohci1394 and I couldn't get anything to register. Also, lspci gives
the following line for firewire:
01:00.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments PCILynx/PCILynx2 IEEE 1394 Link Layer Controller (rev 02)
I've seen in a bunch of places that the b&w g3 needs he pcilynx
driver... but I'll give the ohci driver a whirl. Thanks,
